Gluten gluten everywhere


I haven’t posted in awhile, I’m slacking, I know. But I will be honest, I’ve been struggling. Since my relapse I had to stop working out, now that I am able to again, I have to start at the beginning. I know, I should be happy I can move, punch, lift, run, but it’s frustrating to have made progress, then have ‘lost’ a years worth in several months. I know it will come back quickly, but frustrating none the less. I had arm muscles finally! They were so hard to build, and now they seem scrawny again. But in time they will come back, progress, not perfection.
And now for my biggest struggle lately. During these past few weeks (months really) I have been reading a lot about the autoimmune protocol. An intense paleo diet that is supposed to help with all different types of autoimmune diseases, not just MS. A few weeks ago I bought the book The Paleo Approach, it’s filled with facts about your body, how it’s supposed to work, and how it doesn’t when you have an autoimmune disease. It’s mind blowing to say the least and I’m barely through the first several chapters. Through reading this, other articles on MS and diet and being aware of how foods effect me, I think I’ve discovered I am gluten intolerant. I had several meals gluten free when dinning out, and I felt so different. I felt lighter and I didn’t get any bloating/inflammation afterwards. I have been gluten free now for almost 3 weeks. And it’s been eye opening and my biggest struggle at the same time. I went gluten free about 2 years ago, and it was much easier. Possibly because I was only doing it for 30 days (elimination period, then I reintroduced it). Possibly because my health didn’t require me to be super strict. But now it feels so hard. I wasn’t eating that far off of gluten free, or paleo for that matter, it’s just harder. I do eat out much more frequently than before, so finding restaurants that have gluten free options are tricky. But I’m trying to be positive, it’s taking a while to do so and reframe my thinking, but slowly and surely I am. So now this blog will include my journey into the world of gluten free and/or paleo. I don’t think I’m mentally ready for the autoimmune protocol yet, as silly as that sounds. I’ve already noticed some positive changes, so I’m sticking with it. Here goes nothing!

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes? 

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true? 

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge

It’s an easy exercise with a silly name, but it actually packs a punch and can really change how you feel. 

Imagine measurably more energy and feeling more stable and balanced- and even improving a few MS symptoms here and there too?🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Your possibilities are endless!

Take a time out for a literal minute.

It’s amazing what happens when you take the time to care for your body and nervous system.

First year flower garden needed a post. Already looking forward to next summer, maybe a little less yellow? Can’t wait for the zinnias to bloom!
😂🌼💛
What are you growing??

Thankfully I haven’t heard any of these in a while.. maybe that means I’m getting my point across 🤷🏻‍♀️

But if you’re new here, I value holistic lifestyle medicine (snake oil 😂) but ALSO conventional medicine, I utilize it all after all. 

Yes, what we do as an individual matters for our health.
But so does the health systems we as individuals operate in.

Tomorrow is my MS-aversary, 16 years of having this disease. my newly diagnosed 24 year old self would be pretty shocked that I’m 40 (like in general lol) and also not in a wheelchair.

Here’s to many more years defying what I initially thought to be true about MS.

Comin with me? Hope so.

I’ve tripped a few times in the last few weeks.. nothing crazy, but I noticed.

And I noticed my thoughts… is this a “THING”??

Oh the constant wonderings of an MSer… 
is this a regular life occurrence?
Or is this a new symptom? 😂😂

When was the last time you had this thought process??

When you’re living with MS, it’s not that you don’t want to feel better…

It’s just that life keeps interrupting the plan.
Stress, symptoms, fatigue — they throw you off track.

That’s where support, structure, and accountability change everything.

That’s exactly what my membership is for.
✔️ Evidence-based strategies for MS
✔️ Real community and support
✔️ Gentle consistency that actually works

But seriously.. this isn’t too far off 😂

Life handed me a lemon that was a MS diagnosis at 24. 
Life handed me a lemon that was multiple relapses and MS progression by 30.

Then I snatched those lemons, made some healing lemonade, and feel night and day different than I did 10 years ago when my symptoms were at their worst. 

I could do it, my clients are doing it, I know you can too.

That’s why I’m so passionate about doing what I do. I know it’s possible for you to feel better in your body and be able to do the things you want to do. 

Like go for a walk or hike with your spouse, say yes to a spontaneous night out with friends or get up and down off the floor playing with your kids. 

That’s why I want to invite you to the waitlist for what I have coming.

Think, somewhere to go online, where you can: connect with others who have MS, get questions about MS answered, get tools that can help your symptoms, support & accountability to help with actually doing those things.

I have a saying about dealing with MS (and any other autoimmune/chronic illnesses) that inevitably comes up in my work with clients:
“You don’t get it, until you get it”

Meaning, you don’t understand living life with MS (or any of the above), until you live in a body that has it.

Which is why living with MS can be so tough and lonely, because its hard to find people that truly understand what you mean when you say you’re exhausted, or brain foggy or “fine”.

This is also why I believe that having a community of others who get it is invaluable.

I’ve seen countless times over where someone new to one of my groups is able to feel fully seen and heard for the first time, and that is priceless for them and their healing.

They walk away feeling validated, understood and at home, which are hard to come by at the doctors office 😂🙄

You’re not too much
You’re not alone
You’re not lazy
You’re just talking to the wrong people.

If you wanna talk to the right people, I’m creating something for you..

BUT- only the waitlist is going to hear about it. So- if you want to be notified and involved in creating whats coming, comment WAITLIST and you’re in
